Looking at the best Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Thankfully, you’re not tied to this decision and can change both Vocations whenever you like through respeccing.
We’ve also listedall of the Vocations, including how to unlock them.
Before we begin, there are two important factors to remember with this tier list.
Firstly, it issubjective to our experiencewith the game, so you might rank the Vocations differently.
Secondly, this listfocuses on the player Vocations, not the Pawns.
Though the ability to shoot enemies out of the sky is always handy.
Being aThiefis all about dealing a lot of damage very quickly.
When it comes to causing area-of-effect damage in Dragon’s Dogma 2, theSorcereris king.
The downside, however, is how much stamina these spells use up.
TheWarriorVocation ditches defence to focus on offence.
If not, you risk leaving yourself open.
From healing your party to offering elemental boosts, theMageVocation is all about support.
(Unless you really like playing support of course.)
Still we highlyrecommend always having a Mage Pawn in your party.
I’ll admit that deciding where to place theWarfarerVocation was tough.
Want to include an Archer skill and a Warrior skill in your build?
Yet, if you fancy experimenting with this Vocation, then it’s still worth a shot.
Archers can also easily knock a flying enemy out of the sky if their aim is true.
Finally, we come toTricksterand, firstly, let’s all admit that this was such a cool idea.
You just have to unlock them first and that means ranking up your Trickster Vocation.
What the Trickster Vocation does have going for it, however, are some incredibly useful Augments.
(Very useful if you’re planning on romancing someone.)
We also take a more in-depth look at each starting Vocation further along in this guide.
Before we take an individual look at these four Vocations, there are some important details to note.
A Vocations Rank is raised by using said Vocation in combat.
It’s important to remember that Vocation Ranks arenotshared between the Arisen and the Main Pawn.
This means you’ll always be starting from Rank 1 when you choose a new Vocation.
We also have someearly game Pawn build recommendations.
Personally, I started Dragon’s Dogma 2 as a Thief because I like fast paced combat.
Due to this, Fighters have the ability to defend against up-close enemy attacks.
Once again, this grants you the perfect chance to unleash some strong Weapon Skill.
The downside, however, is that it will leave you vulnerable for a short period of time.
Here are the Fighter Augments:
Archer
The Archer Vocation is focused around range combat.
This will allow them to jump into the heat of battle, while you support them from the sidelines.

When playing as a Mage, it’s very important to remember that spells take time to cast.
On top of that - the more powerful the spell, the longer it will take to cast.
(The same rule is applied to the Sorcerer Vocation.)
This way you’ll have someone defending you while you focus on casting spells.
Mage is also an excellent choice for yourearly Main Pawn build.
As mentioned, the key to playing as a Thief is knowing when to attack and when to flee.

Using it will allow you to deal magic attacks over wide areas with the aim of targeting multiple enemies.
Depending on the spell, you may also be able to inflict debilitations.
Overall, the Sorcerer is perfect for anyone wanting to use magic for violence rather than support.
There are two attacks you should be aware of if you fancy playing as a Warrior.

Not only that, the Dueospear gives you the chance to fight at range or up close.
It also offers great movability as you could dash through battle and, eventually, teleport.
It’s a move which can also be performed in mid-air - something which can come in very handy.

It’s also one of the Vocationsexclusive to the Arisen.
Magick Archers, in fact, have access to types of shots - narrow and wide.
Finally Magick Archer’s have access to one notable skill, the Martyr’s Bolt.
It’s perfect for pulling victory from the jaws of defeat - just ensure you stay alive afterwards.
